The Acoustic Show

[jarmo]

I don't care if they knew either. But if they did, what's the reason for calling it and posting it as a "surpise" show? And saying it was luck and being in the right place at the right time. It's just a little odd to me. Especially about the ones who got to attend the show.

It's luck. When somebody who recognizes you is at the door when you get there, it's luck.

I only knew of the location of gig because I heard from somebody outside another club that something might be going on there.

So, if I had arrived later to the first club I wouldn't have heard about it, and if I had arrived later at the secret location, I wouldn't have made it inside.

I consider it luck and I feel very fortunate to have witnessed that show. I'm very grateful to the people who made it happen.

and to be honest, the gig wasn't really a secret, there was a lot of "regular" people at the gig as far as i understand and there is no surprice that a few hardcore fans gets in there aswell ... axl kept talking about it throughout the whole fuckin' concert on the 29th for gods sake..

he even read a fuckin list of names, in the middle of the show and after the show, that were in a competiton to win a ticket to the show or whatever... if you get to attend a show like that, it's luck. And anyone can be lucky.

[The New Fiona Apple]

God, what's with all these acoustic shows? Axl must be feeling pretty friggin generous gorging himself on these EXTRA shows,pretty women,midgets, and joints. How could he have time to play Civil War with all that? 

[Christos AG]

uhm...where are the pics from that show? Im tired of looking ...I know.. I couldn't find my own ass.

Well, it's only 4 pages. LOOK.

OK, now that was funny..............

Well, it wasn't supposed to be funny.

I'm getting tired of all these people who are "tired" to look through 4 fuckin pages for a link.

It's not that fuckin difficult. Why do we have to look through 40 pages of posts full of "tired" people and the same links over and over again?

You could be nicer, and isn't it ironic... you're tired of tired people  I honestly spent quiet a long time searching.... So I MISSED A LITTLE FUCKING LINK , well suck my big toe motherfucker, sorry for not spending 24h everyday here reading every single post to keep up with everything !  get a life

I have a life, that's why I don't wanna spend my days reading through posts like yours, asking for links that have been posted a couple of pages ago, cause all you had to do is search 4 pages, not 40.

So, "motherfucker" do your search cause next time I won't be so nice.

[Christos AG]

I got in because I was in the right place at the exact right time. I guess it's called luck....

Well, to be quite honest, that was the same case for me... At 3 AM I was still standing outside Wembley, IN THE FUCKIN RAIN, and ofcourse the last thing I had in mind was the acoustic gig.

All I wanted was to get the fuck out of there. But then a true angel came my way and I found myself in there, enjoying the best GNR gig ever...

Not much to say that hasn't been said. A few details on other's reviews are wrong but I'm too tired to list them now, I'll write them down tomorrow...

I need some Gyros, some Greek Gyros... 

that was FUNNY!  now you can have all the Greek Gyros you want baby.... i ll be up there in Salonica in a few weeks, so i ll take you out to dinner and you can eat all the gyros you want, while you ll tell me all the juice details about the acoustic gig! i ll buy the dinner! 

Actually, I didn't really mean that, that was something said by the band at the acoustic gig but I guess not so many people got it...

really?? that s so cool! they really liked gyros .....

[Christos AG]

Well, here's an attempt at reviewing the acoustic gig...

At 3 am I was still at Wembley, trying to get the hell out of there, in the rain (which I like but not at that particular moment)...

Finally we see a cab and I'm going crazy cause 2 chicks stop it and are trying to take it so I'm staring at the cab driver with a REALLY WEIRD look saying "YOU ARE MINE" repeatedly, I'm pretty sure I scared some friends that night... However it worked... 

We arrived at Regent street about 20 minutes later, not knowing where the acoustic gig was. And then a text on my cell from my ANGEL... God I love my ANGEL...

I go to the club and my first attempt in getting in didn't work, but then I got lucky and a friend noticed me, so I got in the second time.

Unfortunately I couldn't get my buddy in so he listened to the whole gig from outside the club.

Anyway, I managed to get infront of the band, and when the gig started it was just surreal...

So, now the details that others don't seem to remember so well, not in the right order cause I was too fuckin excited to remember this shit...

After Knockin' On Heaven's Door Axl mentioned that the first time they played this song was back in 1987, at their first gig in the UK, at the Marquee and he joked "but who cares about that?" to which I laughed and replied "WE DOOOOOO...."

At some point Ron went over to Robin's side and took his guitar to play a part of a song, don't remember which was it, and Robin just sat there watching him playing his electric guitar, which was kinda funny.

Then at some other point Axl mentioned that they only did this gig so that Robin could wear his clogs... 

Babydolls mentioned a song which Axl dedicated to some guy in there, well, that guy owned the club.

When Axl denied to do a song and joked with a funny voice "Our survey says insert funny negative sound here fuck that (or fuck you or something like that)...", that song was requested by Frank, Axl said "that was Frank's first request and it was denied" so Frank laughed really hard... 

The White Russians were drinks for the band.

Well, some assholes kept on pushing us so Ron asked repeatedly for people to go back, when they didn't do anything about it he said "I'll push you back" and he jumped into the crowd pushing everybody back, now THAT was fuckin cooooool...

The band also joked about wanting to eat some Gyros, some Greek Gyros.

Sailing was simply amazing, it was great at Wembley but at the acoustic it was fuckin unbelievable, Axl at his best. I can't stop thinking about that song since Saturday night. Axl said that Merck and someone else were very happy that they played that song.

Then Axl joked about Merck always using his cell and Merck said that he's playing his instrument.

And IRS... I don't know if I've ever said it here but the lyrics are REALLY important to me. I just love knowing the lyrics to a song. Actually when I'm buying a new cd, at first I'll read the lyrics and then I'll listen to the cd.

So Axl was singing IRS and I was reading the lyrics from his screen. While I was reading the lyrics there was some guy right behind me who was singing with the lyrics you all know and I was laughing my ass off cause the lyrics we thought we knew were so fuckin wrong.

Boy are you in for a surprise when the booklet comes out... Most of the lyrics transcribed on the forums are kinda funny when you read the real ones... or when you hear someone singing them with a crappy voice...  Don't ask me to remember them but "when you plead the fifth" or "With a cheap hangover" or "Feelin' like I'm livin' inside this song" don't exist in the song...

So, anyway, Axl was in a great mood, Chris Pittman and Frank seemed so fuckin happy, Ron REALLY enjoyed it, Richard and Tommy were having fun and Robin was kinda in his own world, which is something I love about Robin. Dizzy seemed kinda serious... But he seemed too serious to me throughout this whole tour so don't take my opinion too seriously  ...

If I remember something more, I'll let ya know...

Actually they're on this site's news...

[cb11214]

Sorry, didn't see that

[Christos AG]

Oh, Axl also talked about when they first asked Frank to learn these songs, he replied that he already knows them cause (now I don't remember what he said exactly) "every self-respecting musician had to play these songs in the ghetto" or something like that... I'm not so sure about the ghetto...

i always thought that that line was "Feelin' like the rhythm guitar to this song" but who knows could just be me hearing things

IRS accoustic must be kick ass huh, you dont have pics from your cel ?! 

[jarmo]

I think he mentioned going out with him in Finland and how Kimi would order a bunch of drinks at once.

That was when they were getting Frank a White Russian from the bar....

Yep, only a Finnish would remember that... 

I don't remember the fuckin lyrics, I'm really trying but I don't. All I remember is that the ones most people are singing are crap.

Well, the ones that have already been posted are great so no use for my crappy ones...

/jarmo

I'm pretty sure there were more than one white russian served but I don't remember who drank those. It wasn't Axl for sure...

Maybe Chris and Frank...

[dodger girl]

mm In that part of IRS I hear something like this:

"feeling like I r......... get tired of this sound"

is it any closer?

also the part where everyone think it says "plead the fifth" sounds more like "bleed the hit (hick?)"

lol, I'm really confused now
